Criora climate risk

Criora answers climate and disaster-risk questions about any place on Earth and any of 194 countries, from open scientific data, with every figure citing its source.

For a place (a city, an address or coordinates):

• assess_place: everything in one answer: this week's forecast risk by day, hazards nearby, headline climate exposure and the country's risk
• get_forecast: 7-day weather and weather risk (heat and cold stress, wind gusts, heavy rain, snow)
• get_hazards_near: wildfires, earthquakes, floods, tropical cyclones, volcanoes, droughts and air quality near a point right now
• get_climate_profile: long-term exposure: flood depth, sea level rise, extreme heat, warming to 2050 and 2080, drought, water stress
• find_place: resolve a place name to coordinates

For countries:

• get_country_profile: overall risk, its five dimensions and ~160 indicators benchmarked against the region and the world
• compare_countries: 2 to 10 countries side by side
• rank_countries: the countries most or least at risk, overall or on one dimension, within a region or income group

search and fetch read countries, places and the methodology and sources pages as citable documents.

On a map, right in the chat:

• show_risk_map: an interactive map of the place: this week's forecast risk with hazard symbols, or the rain, temperature or wind forecast hour by hour with animated wind streams, under the hazard events nearby. Pan, zoom, open it full screen, play the week and switch between the four; the week's timeline shows the reading at the place.

Try: "Is it safe to travel to Dubai next week?", "Show me the wind forecast on a map around Bergen", "Compare flood and heat exposure of Lisbon, Valencia and Split by 2050", "Which countries in Southern Asia are most exposed to climate risk?"
